Maybe try to banter/question AI, and ask if it is in fact a human.
Then when it says no (I hope AI is at least that self aware), then let your inner Karen emerge and demand to speak to an actual human!
Disclaimer: I am neither AI nor a Karen, but every once in a while, sometimes bitching at the system can actually get you in contact with a real person.
One way that worked for me to get in contact with a human on AliExpress was mentioning "credit card chargeback". Someone on Reddit mentioned using that, and it worked for me too right away.
Cool cool 👍
The method I was referring to is sort of similar, but involves literal cursing, like "Fuck this shit, I wanna talk to an actual goddamn human!"
See, this isn't quite even my own average everyday language, but at least some of the AI contact systems have a fallback mode that puts you in contact with a real human if you curse too much.
Pro tip: If you actually do get past the AI system with that trick, be nice to the real human that responds...
The last time I had issues with a chat bot, I had said “you are worthless” and that somehow got me to a real person. So, maybe try demeaning the bots into submission.
